C152 A Guilty Conscience at Being a Thief

Principal Peng was a little suspicious. He looked at Wen Qing and then at Huo Tingshen.    

    

This... was not right.    

    

Wen Qing was so nervous that her heart jumped to her throat. She looked at him. This guy, how could he break his promise?    

    

Seeing Wen Qing's frightened expression, Huo Tingshen secretly laughed in his heart. "Previously, she gave my fourth brother supplementary lessons and dressed more casually than this."    

    

Wen Qing's worried heart instantly relaxed.    

    

Principal Peng also laughed, "So our Teacher Wen is a person of temperament. She is very casual when she sees anyone."    

    

Wen Qing smiled.    

    

Personality? Principal Peng had come up with this phrase.    

    

She was clearly poor.    

    

The waiter brought the menu and Principal Peng gave the order to Huo Tingshen.    

    

Huo Tingshen naturally gave the menu to Wen Qing. "You can order it."    

    

Wen Qing was nervous again and looked at him.    

    

Huo Tingshen curled his lips. "Ladies first."    

    

Wen Qing frowned. This guy must be playing with her on purpose.    

    

She said seriously, "Third Young Master Huo, I've been used to being poor since I was young. I've never come to this kind of place to eat. I don't know what's good or bad here. So if you want me to order something, I definitely can't do it well! "    

    

Wen Qing looked straight into Huo Tingshen's eyes and deliberately contradicted him.    

    

Principal Peng was a little nervous. He stood up and took the menu. " Third Young Master, how about this? I've been to this house a few times. I'll order a few dishes for Xiao Wen. Do you think so?    

    

It was obvious that Principal Peng was very careful in front of Huo Tingshen.    

    

Huo Tingshen's hand politely made an invitation.    

    

Principal Peng started to look at the menu while ordering.    

    

Under the table, Huo Tingshen's toes pushed forward a few times and touched Wen Qing's feet.    

    

Wen Qing was very nervous. She awkwardly cleared her throat and pulled her feet back a little.    

    

Huo Tingshen smiled mischievously. This girl was guilty.    

    

Principal Peng ordered the dishes. When he raised his head, he happened to see Huo Tingshen drinking tea and smiling at the same time.    

    

Principal Peng said, Third Young Master seems to be in a good mood today."    

    

"I'm in a good mood one day." His eyes turned and his tone became sharper.    

    

"Third Young Master is right. I mean, you seem to be in a good mood today."    

    

Huo Tingshen said calmly, "I won't share some private matters with Principal Peng."    

    

Principal Peng smiled apologetically. "I was too talkative."    

    

Listening to the conversation between the two, Wen Qing at the side was a little puzzled. The elder Principal Peng seemed to be trying to please Huo Tingshen.    

    

Huo Tingshen's current attitude was completely different from what he looked like in front of her.    

    

Huo Tingshen looked at Principal Peng. "Today, Principal Peng called me here because he has something to say."    

    

"Hey, I actually wanted to take this opportunity to thank Third Young Master Huo. Third Young Master recommended me strongly, which gave me my position today. I should treat Third Young Master to a meal."    

    

"If that's the case, then Principal Peng is too polite."    

    

"In addition, I just took over the affairs of Beishi University. I did find a lot of problems. I want Third Young Master to help me out."    

    

"Speak."    

    

"In these years, during Lin Youle's term of office, she led the school to bring in a lot of research projects. But these projects had to be put aside because of the funding problem. In addition, the construction of the new student dormitory had already been on the agenda. However, after the school finance department had done some calculations, it was true that they could not take out that much money.    

    

Originally, this was a historical problem left behind by the old principal during his term of office. I can also directly flip through the pages. "However, in accordance with my belief in serving the students, I feel that I should continue to do things that are beneficial to the children. However, this funding problem is really..."    

    

Huo Tingshen curled his lips, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. "So, Principal Peng brought the prettiest female teacher in the school today to public relations with me?"    

    

Wen Qing's face turned red. This guy, how could he dare to say anything?    

    

Peng Aiguo also felt embarrassed. "Third Young Master's words are serious. I think Third Young Master is smart and wise. That's why I want Third Young Master to help me come up with an idea. There are so many children in the school. If I can implement some research projects, it will be very beneficial for their future development.    

    

Wen had just changed from a student to a counselor. She should be able to understand the best. Setting up research projects in the school will be very beneficial to the development of the school. Wen, do you want to tell me what you think? "    

    

Wen Qing hesitated for a moment. Just now, Peng Aiguo and Huo Tingshen's idea of asking for money was already so obvious.    

    

If she opened her mouth now, it would be asking for money.    

    

"Yes, it is indeed a beauty's words that are more convincing. Why don't Teacher Wen tell me what you are thinking?"    

    

Wen Qing was silent for a moment and looked at Peng Aiguo. "Principal Peng," she said. I'm just an ordinary counselor, and I don't know much about the way the school operates, but I'm sure that's what you think, doing research in the school, and it's good for both the school and the students.    

    

In fact, the real funding could not be used on scientific research projects. Most of them are used by the school's leaders to cover various expenses. "The students' research is extremely difficult. This is the experience I obtained when I was working with the professors in the past."    

    

Wen Qing's words made Principal Peng's face turn ugly.    

    

"I just entered the school. There are some specific things. "I don't know much about the details. However, I feel that there is a need to investigate this matter thoroughly. "    

    

Huo Tingshen's eyes were sharp, but he just lowered his head and drank some tea.    

    

If he did not know about these things, would he start raising research funds as soon as he took over the position?    

    

Wen Qing did not think much and only said, "I feel that since there are companies willing to raise research funds for the school, then we should be responsible for the trust of the company. At least, wherever the research funds are used, we should let the company know."    

    

Principal Peng was silent for a while. He looked at Wen Qing and then said to Huo Tingshen. I also agree with Wen's words. Come, Wen, go and get Third Young Master a glass of wine. Let's have a chat while drinking."    

    

Wen Qing frowned. Why did he ask her to pour wine? She was not going to drink with him.    

    

Seeing Wen Qing's reaction, Principal Peng urgently said, "Child, you asked you to pour wine for a big shot like Third Young Master. Are you scared silly?"    

    

Wen Qing got up and poured the wine for Huo Tingshen. She then returned to her seat.    

    

Huo Tingshen raised his wine glass and curled his lips. "What, am I the only one drinking?"    

    

Principal Peng quickly poured himself and Wen Qing some wine. "No, Third Young Master. Wen and I will drink to our heart's content today. I only hope that you can help solve these problems."    

    

Principal Peng raised his glass and Huo Tingshen clinked glasses with him. Principal Peng saw that Wen Qing did not move and gave her a look. "Wen, why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for Third Young Master Huo to persuade you to drink?"    

    

"Principal, I don't know how to drink."    

    

"Don't worry and drink boldly. If you are really drunk, I will send you back. "Don't worry. With Third Young Master Huo as a witness, I can't let you suffer! Being able to drink with Third Young Master is your honor. Could it be that you still look down on Third Young Master?"    

    

Wen Qing looked up at Huo Tingshen.    

    

He looked at her face calmly and raised his eyebrows at her.    

    

She was the one who asked him to keep a distance from her in front of the principal.    

    

Now, it was not a good time to go back on her words. This was really throwing stones at her feet.    

    

She took a deep breath, raised her wine glass, stood up, and clinked glasses with the two of them before finishing them off.    

    

Forget it, she was going to throw caution to the wind.
